Cupcakes!

I love cupcakes! I have never been a huge fan of cake, but I love cupcakes. With a cake, you only get a piece, and you have to decide whether you want a corner piece with lots of frosting, or the middle piece with all the candy pieces on it. With a cupcake, you get the whole thing! Lucky for me, cupcakes have become the new "it" thing around here. I am starting to see cupcake shops show up everywhere. And after watching "Cupcake Week" on Martha Stewart I decided that I had to try every cupcake that was featured on her show. Last weekend I got the chance to try one of them.

I had a swim meet in Santa Monica on Saturday. I remembered that one of the cupcake shops was in Santa Monica, Vanilla Bake Shop. Andrew and I went there and it did not dissapoint. It was a cute little shop full of people buying cupcakes for Mother's Day. While there I couldn't just pick one cupcake, so I bought a lot of them. They had both regular sized cupcakes and "cupcake babies" which were just smaller (so cute)!

The cupcake that was featured on Martha Stewart was the Meyer Lemon Raspberry. It was full of deliciousness!Their Mother's Day cupcake was the dark chocolate strawberry. yummmmmm!In addition to those two we also had the Southern Red Velvet (my favorite), Bittersweet Dark Chocolate, Black & White, Key Lime, Spicy Carrot, and the Toasted Dark Chocolate Coconut. I definitely enjoyed them!!
